Analect 2.616x



23 November 2009. Crisp sun, chilly gold ripples on blue pool. Swimmers with arms held in close to their sides, scurrying for the warm showers...

Or, a beach in Santa Monica, 1963. Fred Price (violin) and Roscoe Holcomb, his banjoe at the ready, angular face, perpetual upright stance... Southern mountain hat and stiff gaberdines. Here for their appearance with Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson at the Ashgrove, on Melrose. The old days. Tradition and bohemia in gentle collision, by the edge of an unknown sea...
